' No matter wliiil's the cause of sorrow 
In loss of friends or kindred blocd, 
No matter how the cause is brought on. 

The pnngs are just as painful 
To all who suffer gi-ief. 

So with those sunii\' soulii land, 

Who to rear a realm assayed. 
To them tiie cause was hol_y, 

Tiiere to give their blood and treasure, 
Thoug!) in tlie attempt the}' failed. 

The Earth will ever bear the impress 
Of the zeal with which they strove. 

Graves are scattered on earli hill side, 
From the mounlains to the sea. 

Tomb stones are in every grove. 

Here lie tlie victors and tlie vanquished 
Side hy side; their rest disturb not- 

They fell in mutual combat, 
So let their cause of contest 

Lie buried in their tomb. 

The grave now all tlieir strife eschews, 
Nor asks the side on whicli ihey fell- 

'Twas valor all their deeds imbued, 
Let us forget that they were foes; 

They fought tlieir battles well. 

VFe'll deck all their graves with flowers 
Eacli year when Spring returns; 

To those weeping mourners say not. 
That some w deep beneath the sod, 

Fell in a cause (cted ; 

Let's hope a \th God.
